About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions among other concerns. Brittany uses straightforward, practical methods and asks questions to understand what matters to each person.
She previously worked in private practice, school-based therapy, and higher levels of care. That range gave her experience with short-term skills work and longer, more structured treatment. She has led DBT groups, social skills groups for children, and parent psychoeducation groups.
Brittany brings a direct and goal-oriented style to sessions. She listens, gives clear feedback, and will challenge unhelpful patterns when needed. She values trust and builds it by being nonjudgmental and consistent in how she engages.
Treatment draws from several approaches rather than following only one model. Techniques from attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR may be used when relevant. She offers practical tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and handling stressful situations.
Sessions also include coaching elements when goals are practical, such as career or parenting concerns. Brittany can share resources for self-care, coping strategies, and actions to try between sessions. She asks clients what matters most and aligns the work to those priorities.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early connections shape current responses. Online sessions can use this approach to identify repeating patterns and practice new ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms over weeks to months. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided stimulation. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and strong, persistent memories that interfere with daily life. Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed. The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing therapy when schedules or location change, while keeping the focus on practical skills and real-life progress.CAreas of focus
